Life with Baby

As you prepare for the arrival of your little one, take some time to learn the basics of infant care. Even if you grew up with kids or feel experienced, it doesn’t hurt to refresh on the basics. Also, doctor’s recommendations sometimes change over time! So things that once were “acceptable” (like crib bumpers) are now considered No Nos.

Ask Questions: If you have mom friends (or sisters), ask questions! Moms love sharing advice. This can also be a great bonding time for you and your mom. And, of course, you can always ask your child’s pediatrician for advice.

Watch Videos: You may have the opportunity in your childbirth classes or even in the hospital to review helpful videos. Once at home, you can find a ton of awesome, quick videos on YouTube channels, like WhatsUpMom, The Bump, and ItsMommyLife.
